Poll: Every third Czech has paid bribe

According to a poll by the SC&C agency, every third Czech has admitted to having paid a bribe in the past. The poll conducted on 3166 people suggests that men over 45 with secondary or university education pay bribes most frequently and are also the most frequent target of bribery. Sixty-four percent of the polled said they had never paid a bribe. The Czech Republic shared 47th to 50th position with Greece, Slovakia and Namibia in last year's Transparency International table of corruption perception.
